Expo Purchases

[tor lives]

Let us never speak of having too many models of any particular aircraft

Why do you think I have gone into stash sell-off mode. I have lost count of how many 707s (and variants) in different scales and from different manufacturers I have in the stash
Not to mention the piles of 727s, 737s, 747s, BAC 111s, VC-10s, Caravelles, etc, (what the hell was I thinking!!!!)

PS: still didn't stop me from buying a 1:72 VC-10 and Caravelle at the Swap & Smell though.....it's a disease!!!!

I'm so ancient that I have the Dornier X in the original Otaki boxing. One of these days ...

I managed to pick of three kits at the Swap and Sell. An A.320, an A.321 and a DC-4, all 1/144. They were going for $10 each so I couldn't let them pass. I now have 7 A.320s and 2 A.321s. Is that too many?

Leigh

Not at all Leigh.

I have 8 1/72 C-130s, 8 1/72 P-3s and soon to be 9 1/72 C-135s

I can further add to that C-135 stash if ya want Ray

You already are Ray

Ray, where did you find that Caravelle and VC-10. I didn't see the Caravelle kit at the swap and sell, I've only got six and definitely need more. And I've only got three VC-10s (not counting the conversion kits) so I absolutely need more of them. I didn't seen any Airfix 727-200 either, I've got nine 727s and need another to complete the set. Next year perhaps.

Oh, I fixed the typo in the topic title, which nobody seemed to notice - including me until about half-an-hour ago!

I noticed Kev

BTW - I bought nothing, how disciplined is that! I've just come to the conclusion that there are just so many topics I can build at the pathetic build rate I can muster at the moment. I did find out where I can purchase that brilliant canopy glue - Hy-Po I think it's called - from Red Roo. That was about all that go me excited.

Hi Leigh,
I bought the 1:72 Caravelle and VC-10 kit from a table about two or three down from yours.
Is it the 1:72 or 1:144 kits you are looking for????, cause if it is 1:144th you might need to check out my stash sell off photo-list in the "swap and sell" section..... you maybe pleasantly surprised.
